We don't often ask for money. Just twice a year. This is one of those times.

So, please, before you hit the "close" button on this box, would you consider a donation to keep Hymnary.org going?

In April 2020, according to Google Analytics, our Hymnary website had roughly 1.5 million sessions from approximately 1 million users. Both numbers were up 40% from April 2019. Amazing. And what a blessing! But it is expensive to serve all of these people -- worship leaders, hymnologists, hymn lovers and more -- people like you who love hymns.

And we have limited sources of revenue. This fund drive is one critical source.

So if you benefit from Hymnary.org, would you please consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Author: K. J. P. SpittaHymnal: Gloria Deo #173 (1901)Topics: Abiding in ChristLyrics: 1 Dwell in Christ, who once descended
From above thro’ love of thee;
Who a thousand pangs endured
In thy pains to succor thee;
Dwell in Him, who ever liveth
When all else shall pass away,
And when all to dust returneth,
Who shall triumph then for aye.
2 All shall die; the earthly findeth
In the earth a grave alway;
All the joys of earth shall vanish,
And the heart itself decay;
Earthly being, it shall perish;
Flicker earthly flames and die;
Earthly fetters shall be loosed;
Earthly blooms fade utterly.
3 On the wreck of all things earthly
God is standing, and doth say
“Stay thyself on Me, believing;
Faith will drive all fear away.”
Dwell in Him, who ever liveth,
Lasting treasure who can give,
In the book of life He’ll write thee,
In Him do thou ever live.Tune Title: SPITTA

Author: J. StegmannHymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #57 (1913)Meter: 7.6.7.6Topics: Abiding in ChristLyrics: 1 Abide in grace, Lord Jesus,
Among us constantly,
Lest Satan's art deceive us
And gain the victory.
2 Abide, Lord, with the story
Of Thy redeeming love;
May we the gospel's glory
And saving virtue prove.
3 Abide, our pathway brighten
With Thy celestial ray;
Blest Light, our souls enlighten,
Show us the truth, the way.
4 Abide with us in blessing,
Lord of the earth and sky;
Rich grace and strength possessing,
Do Thou our need supply!
5 Abide, our only safety,
Thy people's sure defence;
No power can withstand Thee
Divine Omnipotence!
6 Abide among us ever,
Lord, with Thy faithfulness;
Jesus, forsake us never,
Help us in all distress!Tune Title: [Abide in grace, Lord Jesus]

Author: John H. YatesHymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #50 (1896)Topics: Abiding in ChristFirst Line: Without Thee, my Saviour, I nothing can doRefrain First Line: Abide with me ever, O SaviourLyrics: 1 Without Thee, my Saviour, I nothing can do;
I strive, but I fail to be faithful and true;
My strength is but weakness, and faint is my heart,
Unless Thou art nigh me Thy grace to impart.
Refrain:
Abide with me ever, O Saviour, abide,
My Refuge in danger, in darkness, my Guide.
2 Without Thee, my Saviour, I struggle in vain;
I sink ‘neath the wave with no arm to sustain;
But when Thou art with me to strengthen my soul,
I cling to the Rock though the waves o’er me roll. [Refrain]
3 Without Thee, my Saviour, I cannot prevail
When foes of my soul with their weapons assail;
But when Thou art with me to gird me with might,
I march to the battle, and win in the fight. [Refrain]Scripture: Luke 24:29Tune Title: [Without Thee, my Saviour, I nothing can do]

Author: Elizabeth C. ClephaneHymnal: Trinity Hymnal #177 (1961)Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6Topics: Abiding in ChristLyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,-
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me:
And from my stricken heart with tears
Two wonders I confess,-
The wonders of redeeming love
And my own worthlessness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding-place:
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of his face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss;
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory, all the cross.
Amen.Scripture: Isaiah 32:2Languages: EnglishTune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Author: Anna L. WaringHymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #204 (1908)Topics: Abiding in ChristFirst Line: In heav'nly love abidingLyrics: 1 In heav'nly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here:
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack;
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been;
My hope I cannot measure,
My path to life is free.
My Saviour has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.Tune Title: CLARE
